Some businesses paid a ransom of more than $500,000 after a cyberattack last year, new Statistics Canada data revealed.
The report surveyed more than 12,000 businesses to investigate the impacts of cybersecurity incidents on enterprises across Canada, including how many are paying attackers after getting hit by ransomware.
Only 13 per cent of businesses who dealt with a cyberattack ended up reporting the attack to police, the survey found, though that number is up from 10 per cent in 2021. More than half of incidents that did get reported were related to stealing money or demanding ransom payments.Canadian businesses spent $1.2 billion recovering from cybersecurity incidents last year, double what was paid a couple of years earlier.
